Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Training Solutions

Diversity & Inclusion training, what comes to mind: Dull? Lecture-based? A ‘tick-box’ exercise? Well, we take pride in smashing that myth out of the water – and delight in reading fabulous delegate comments post-event!

Yes, our in-house Equality, Diversity & Inclusion training programmes cover the relevant legislation (and the consequences for not complying), but imparting the facts is the easy bit. The challenge lies in engaging delegates and initiating behavioural changes crucial to instilling a culture of inclusion, equity and respect. But with the right facilitator and content tailored for your organisation, we create goose-bump moments that make a difference.

We have supported businesses to drive equality, embrace diversity and create more inclusive cultures for longer than we’d like to remember. Whatever your reason for doing the training, we will work with you to implement a learning solution that engages your people and approaches what are sometimes delicate issues openly but sensitively.

Through clever script writing, goosebump-inducing delivery and professional facilitation we can bring so much to life. We stimulate emotion, penetrate the long-term memory and create lasting change. Learning is facilitated by experienced specialists within the ED&I field.

These flexible learning events can accommodate as many as 100 delegates and still allow time for full audience participation by hot seating the actors, still in character, to respond to questions and comments.

We hold a broad range of scenarios to choose from or we can prepare scenarios specific to the client organisation to reflect internal issues that need to be addressed.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion for Everyone

Programme length: 1 or ½ Day

This is a highly interactive hands-on workshop that explores and celebrates Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion. The workshop illustrates these are issues for all of us, no matter what our role. It provides participants with practical knowledge, skills and awareness to practice and champion fair, non-discriminatory practice. Most importantly, it helps participants to become confident in dealing with what are often sensitive topics.

The focus is on our responsibilities, behaviours and actions. It includes our legal responsibilities but moves beyond a compliance approach to also demonstrate the moral and business benefits. We also explore Unconscious Bias – the hidden prejudices that we don’t know we have.

The workshop will be conducted in a fun, thought provoking and safe environment to encourage the sharing of stories and inspire all to put learning into action. Content also includes group discussions, quizzes, video examples, scenarios and experiential learning activity.

Diversity & Inclusion for SMT or Board

Programme length: 1 or ½ Day

It is the role of senior managers to create strategies and lead practices that actively promote equality and diversity and develop an organisational culture of inclusivity and respect.

A senior Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) specialist, will work with you to create a fluid facilitated workshop that supports your SMT to evaluate current strategies; what you are doing well, where there are opportunities to achieve greater inclusion, what strategies could help you to embrace the full diversity of your workforce, how to set realistic goals and how to measure success.

The content will involve reference to legal responsibilities; however, the main focus is on practical implementation of change and the benefits to the organisation of a new way of leading.

The approach and duration of the workshops are flexible; if you have a specific focus, we can facilitate interventions that assists you in meeting specific pre-agreed objectives. For example: unconscious bias or gender balance.

Behaving Positively at Work

Programme length: 1 or ½ Day

Bullying and harassment in the workplace is painful for staff and expensive for organisations. It increases absenteeism and staff turnover, whilst reducing quality of work and staff morale. These behaviours are sometimes mistaken for or excused as ‘workplace banter’.

A CIPD survey found that 83 per cent of UK employers now have a policy on bullying and harassment, yet bullying in the workplace remains headline news

One estimate states that inappropriate work-based behaviours costs UK employers upwards of £2 billion a year

Working in a safe environment, this interactive workshop explores what constitutes appropriate and inappropriate behaviours. Workshops are available using live drama scenarios created from your own organisational situations. Alternatively, where drama is not used we utilise existing filmed scenarios to bring the learning alive.

The workshop promotes and encourages positive behaviours that reflect your organisational values. It gives practical solutions on how to challenge and deal with inappropriate comments and behaviours. It also demonstrates the benefits to staff and the organisation of committing to creating and maintaining a workplace culture where dignity and respect are the norm.

Inclusive Leadership

Programme length: 1 Day

Getting Inclusion & Diversity right creates a happy, harmonious and committed workforce, which drives first-class service delivery. However, inclusion and diversity, alone, are not regarded as being enough to extract maximum value for a company in terms of its employee value proposition, productivity and profitability.

In the past Leaders were expected to have all the answers. Modern day thinking has developed further into the idea that excellent leaders champion the principle of Inclusive leadership. Inclusive Leadership allows leaders to gain the full benefit from the diversity of their workforce. They have a keen focus on culture, relationships and decision making at each level of the organisation, ensuring any negative effects of unconscious bias are counteracted as much as possible. Inclusive leadership is not so much a destination but rather a continuous journey.

This 1-day training programme has been developed to take your manager on the first steps of this journey and to help them become role models for Inclusive Leadership behaviours. This training programme can be customised to include sector or issue specific case studies and media clips to enhance learning for your managers. It can also be appropriately pitched for first line, middle, and senior managers.

Respect & Inclusion Toolkit

Programme length:

The definition of workplace ‘respect and inclusion’ is evolving to encompass more than just the characteristics protected under the Equality Act. In an ever-changing workplace, it has become increasingly important for colleagues to embrace diverse work styles, communication preferences, generational differences, philosophies and value sets.

To achieve congruous, collaborative and high-performing teams that are focused, without angst or distraction, on realising aligned professional goals, it is important your teams have an unfaltering focus on championing respect and inclusion.

Whether introduced as part of management and leadership development, or in conjunction with equality and diversity training, the respect and inclusion toolkit is designed to equip managers with the understanding and practical tools to implement, champion, support, and sustain best practice in equality, diversity, respect and inclusion in your organisation. The toolkit empowers you to implement change, without continued support from and an outside resource.

The toolkit can be simple or complex depending on your needs.

Speaking Out

Programme length: 1 or ½ Day

It can be difficult to let someone know when they have done or said something that has upset or offended us. Even more so if that person is a close colleague or senior manager. We worry we will be dismissed as a trouble maker or not taken seriously so, some suffer in silence and others let is fester until eventually it is escalated to the HR department.

This interactive and practical workshop helps foster a culture where speaking out is ok. The content explores what constitutes appropriate and inappropriate behaviours, promotes positive behaviours that reflect your organisational values and develops skills and confidence to have these potentially difficult conversations.

Equality Impact Assessment

Programme length: 1 or 2 Day

Equality impact assessments are a way we can determine whether our services or products are disproportionately or unjustifiably discriminating against a particular group of people due to race, disability or gender, religion or belief, sexual orientation or age. In the case of new or changing policies, whether there is a potential adverse impact.

The practical workshop explores:

Is your organisation demonstrating good practice?

Are your policies and procedures meeting customer and colleague needs?

Are there any unintended impacts or “institutional” barriers, acts or omissions that affect individuals and communities?

Equality Impact Assessments are also a great tool to enable you to promote equality and inclusive participation.

These interactive workshops provide knowledge, understanding, core business skills and a practical framework to carry out equality impact assessment. During the workshop, participants will be given the chance to begin practicing and completing an impact assessment, which will be ready to be completed – once you are back within the workplace.
